- Pocket space
up to three creatures you have summoned or created via spellcasting can be stored in the buddy bag as a bonus action. while stored they take up no physical space and are healed to max hp after one hour. creatures stored no longer require concentration, removing a creature from pocket space breaks spell concentration .
